Key Takeaways from Mare Forum Oslo – Pioneering - Alternative Propulsion Systems and Alternative Fuels
At Mare Forum Oslo, Frederik joined peers to explore how alternative propulsion and fuels are shaping commercial decisions today.
Three points stood out:
- Norway is active across many fronts - wind, carbon capture, electrification, and alternative fuels but owners will need to combine multiple technologies, and while novel tech draws the spotlight, there's still plenty of low-hanging fruit-efficiency measures that can be implemented now, with immediate commercial and environmental impact.
- One shipowner put it plainly: "Even after all we've done, we're only halfway to our 2030 targets". It was a reminder that ambition alone isn't enough - scale, timing, and follow-through matter just as much.
- Progress in shipping decarbonisation relies on practical steps today alongside strategic adoption of diverse technologies for long-term impact.
The direction is clear. Decarb is here to stay.
